Get right away from it all and give your brain and body a chance to catch up.

Life is now more busy, demanding, sedentary and baffling than ever before. And it’s not very good for you. A week long all-you-can-eat-and-drink binge in the sun might offer some light relief, but really you need to reset and recover.

Our retreats give you the chance to rejuvenate, regenerate, re-energise, relax, and re-everything else that’s good for you.Every morning you can enjoy sunrise yoga, innovative personal training and lots of fun physical activities like surfing, cycling and hiking. In the evening wind down with restorative yoga and massage. No activities are compulsory and there are lot’s of opportunities to relax, read a book by the pool, play Pétanque or lie on the beach. This is your chance to take time for what your mind and body needs with a great group of people too.
